Murray's Mountain West football rankings
Each week, RGJ sports writer Chris Murray will rank the Mountain West football teams. Here are this week's rankings, with each team's overall record, next opponent and a comment.
Comment: Utah State put a beatdown on Boise State and is the MW's best shot at the Group of 5's bid into a New Year's Six bowl. The Aggies' two losses were to Utah and Washington, which are acceptable. The defense is still great and QB Kent Myers has been nearly perfect in three starts (88.3 QBR).
Comment: When was the last time Boise State didn't show up for a marquee matchup on ESPN?
